Below is another urgent alert from the Illinois State Rifle Association.  I would encourage all Illinois gun owners to act now:

After getting nowhere in the Senate, the gun controllers have taken their campaign to destroy your rights to the Illinois House.  Earlier today, Amendment #1 to SB2899 was introduced in the Illinois House of Representatives.  Sponsored by rabidly anti-gun Rep. Eddie Acevedo, the amendment would do two things to you:

1.  It would pick your pocket to pay for the confiscation and destruction of your own guns.

2.  It would ban more than 50% of the rifles and more than 80% of handguns owned by Illinois citizens.

THIS BILL WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE HOUSE JUDICIARY 1 COMMITTEE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON ? YOU MUST ACT NOW!

To help save your guns, please contact the following Representatives and politely tell them that you are a law-abiding firearm owner and that you do not support SB2899 and that you expect them to vote the amendment down.
